After looking for hours in the deodexed framework-res apk in my transformer rom I can't find the location of the status bar background colour, I saw references to it within the status_bar_item_app_background xml in drawables but haven't got as far as locating the value of the hex colour within any of the other xml's in the values folder or any .PNG's. I know it is possible to change the colour as in the Galaxy tab 10.1 roms the status_bar_background.png is located in the touchwiz-res.apk file. Of course only compatible with touchwiz.
So if anyone has any idea of changing this I would be highly great full.

Anyone who wants to play around with the status bar at the top by changing colours e.g. from standard black to white just edit the file attached. Leave it in png format and the name as it is. Just edit the colour. Use adb or metamorph to include it in a theme or your choosing. And only place it in the following 2 folders - framework-res\res\drawable-480x320 and folder - framework-res\res\drawable-land-480x320.
It may not be necessary for both but it works for me. Jus thought to pass this info on. Cos Im working on icons. All creds to Ratcom as I was searching for this in one of his themes and Foxy Editor dev as I can edit the colour on my phone and also to the dev of Astro for making it easy2copy and paste
cheers guys/girls.
then how will you make the clock and date font color to black? becuase white text on white bar wont be visible.
Jm still playin around with other files at the moment. But when i do findout it"ll be on here.jus wanted2share the truble it takes for newbies
I was wondering if it is possible to install a fully working white notification bar on the Evil Eris ROM v3.0. I've tried searching the forums and have installed the bar successfully, but the clock is white on a white background, which is extremely annoying. I've tried fixing it with the new spare parts by changing the clock color and still no go. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
try going into the zip file for the white notification bar and changing it? I dont know, im basically a noob, just about a year of experience
Changing the clock color requires you to edit the services.jar file. Do a search of the entire site on changing the clock color.
I've done it before but it's not easy. Requires smali and baksmali and opening up a classes.dex file.
I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what files needs to be edited to obtain the overscroll glow effect and the transparency in the notification pull-down bar.
I wanted to port over a theme I liked using the APK Manager to my current rom (S-VII) but I dunno what to edit in order to obtain these two effects.
I know the framework.apk file effects the overscroll glow but i don't know what image or xml edit i need to do.
Thanks.
(If possible where the no clock notification and the pop up animations edits can be made would be appreciated but the other two above take priority. Thanks.)
You can accomplish most of these mods with the UOT kitchen.
If you want to do the overscroll effect yourself though you will need to edit the framework.jar (in the /system/framework folder) on your ROM. You can use this tutorial if you want to do it manually, or download the attached pre-modified framework.jar from Serendipity 7. It's JVO based, but should work on all Samsung-based Gingerbread ROM's according to the tutorial I listed a minute ago.
To change the color of the glow effect, edit the 2 overscroll png's located in the framework-res.apk. (also can be done with the UOT kitchen)
Download framework.jar
Here's also a post that may help
The way that I make the status bar and notification pull-down shade transparent are by using Photoshop (or GIMP) to make them the color I want and then to make them transparent. These PNG's are also located within the framework-res.apk. This can also be done with the UOT Kitchen.
No clock in notification bar: A quick search in this forum would have yielded this post for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943212
I hope this helps.
thanks ill play around w/ this more
What is the name of the file (and where is it located) for the notification pulldown? Trying to theme it, but I swear I can't find it.
it is in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk
Found it. It's called "status_bar_background.png" It's in the framework apk.
Is that the file that controls the blue section of my screenshot? I want to change it but am not sure how. Do I just replace that file with a same sized square of my chosen colour? And is the transparency automatic, or do I have to make my replacement file transparent somehow?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm still trying to figure out the blue bar thing myself, but the background transparency is controlled by whatever you make the transparency of the background image.
Hello Community,
I´m currently trying to find out which sections in the SystemUI.apk from ICS I have to change to get a white-based ICS.
What I want to change are mainly the notification bar, notification bar expanded background, drawer background, system settings background and the overall text color (would be hard to read atm since it would be white on white )
Does someone know which values I have to change?
I already decompiled the systemUI.apk with help from the JB Theme tutorial, but JB seems to be slightly different.
kind regards
no one who knows them? :l
im pretty stuck atm.
